For landlords, agents and businesses

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
About our asbestos removal in Woolstone
Asbestos removal in Woolstone covers homes, rental property and workplaces: garage roofs, flues, water tanks, Artex and floor tiles among them. Each job follows HSE guidance, and the waste goes to a permitted site. We often deal with cement soffits, floor tiles and water tanks, and typical jobs are debris left from a previous job and old sheds and coal bunkers.
In a village like Woolstone, removal often involves barns, stables, outbuildings and farm buildings, where access across fields or yards needs planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Common questions in Woolstone
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover small places like Woolstone?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you cover Woolstone?
We do: Woolstone is within the area we cover in Oxfordshire. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What’s included, and what is not
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Licensed materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must be removed by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Bad weather can affect outdoor removal
- Making good is normally a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Garage and shed roofs
- Water tanks
- Panels and boards
- Soffits (cement)
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bitumen roof felt
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Artex and textured coatings
- Flue pipes
Options to consider in Woolstone
Be wary of a price that seems too low: proper controls, protective equipment, a registered waste carrier and disposal cost money. Always ask for the consignment note. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

What we deal with in Woolstone
Asbestos was used in building products until it was banned in 1999, so pre-2000 buildings across Oxfordshire may contain it.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Sheds, outbuildings and lean-tos
- Artex before plastering
- Flue pipes, gutters and downpipes
- Garage roof sheets
In older properties in Woolstone, it’s often extensions and refits that contain asbestos, so we identify materials before planning removal.
Before you book anyone

- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork

Materials, one by one
Bitumen and felt
Bitumen felts can contain asbestos, typically tightly bound.
Water tanks and flues
A Gas Safe engineer disconnects any gas appliance first.
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork safely: it shows the asbestos was disposed of legally.
Some practical advice:
- Keep the waste paperwork safe afterwards
- Clear the area around the work, without disturbing the asbestos
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash, sand or cut asbestos.
Asbestos never goes in ordinary bins or skips.
